    Let Tilman talk. Let him make some money on his book. He is a businessman. The more money he makes, the more likely he will allow, Morey to do his job. If Rockets is playing well at the trade deadline, Morey could get other players.

    God ducking damnit. That intro to the team

    “The Rockets have another early exit. The dubs finished them off early in 6 and they did it without KD.”

    Are you serious? Always the Rockets get this but you NEVER hear about the Raptors.

    @Jontro

    you don't see cheapskate Les on First Take

    Tilman knows Rockets fans, especially here, watch this show

    Les would show up on this show if Stephen A and Max were Chinese

    Tilman out there selling books. While I respect the hustle, this is another sign that Tilman is broke. He has to work for a living like the rest of us and not like a true upper-class billionaire owner that the Houston Rockets deserve.

    Does our owner's face remind anyone else of an agitated possum?

    The thing that irks me/makes me almost despise Tilman is when he speaks it's "MY team, MY players... MY people..."

    In his mind there's clearly no Houston in the Houston Rockets. The only thing he values about fans are their dollars. And when the Rockets win it all it's going to be because of him and him alone.

    He simply needs to shut up and let the results, whatever they might be, speak for themselves. But he won't because he has bigger plans...

    What more don y'all want? I freaking love this guy! He takes the heat and will let your guys BALL OUT. And beside, I like his I Machiavellian dealings with his team. Keep D'antoni in his Medicare collecting toes. I keep saying this to anyone that wants to listen, Rockets will come out the West.

    dude talks entirely too much. do you see other owners feeling the need to talk about how so and so will work over and over. this is a results driven league which speaks for itself, not who can talk the most to the media and have to explain everything in detail

    I was the only one that would say pay the lux tax when Les was here but was condescendingly told you can't because cap rules and they had this nice Bima Thug breakdown. Now fast forward to now and you see it was all cover up for Les.
